Abstract(s)
O linfoma Ă© uma doença de elevada incidĂȘncia na população canina, sendo um dos
tumores hematopoiéticos mais frequentes nesta espécie.
Sendo um dos tipos de tumores com maior resposta Ă quimioterapia, esta Ă©
actualmente a terapia de eleição alcançando, quando devidamente empregue e monitorizada,
um aumento significativo na duração e qualidade de vida do paciente. Com o constante estudo
e compreensĂŁo do comportamento deste tipo de tumor tĂȘm surgido nos Ășltimos anos novas
abordagens terapĂȘuticas como a imunoterapia, radioterapia e o transplante de medula Ăłssea.
Estas novas terapĂȘuticas sĂŁo usadas de forma coadjuvante Ă terapĂȘutica quimioterĂĄpica e tĂȘm
como objectivo melhorar as respostas e aumentar a sobrevivĂȘncia dos pacientes, com uma
diminuição dos efeitos secundårios.
à assim objectivo desta dissertação fazer uma revisão da literatura actual sobre as
novas linhas terapĂȘuticas do linfoma canino em medicina veterinĂĄria, fazendo previamente uma
breve revisĂŁo sobre a classificação, apresentação clĂnica, diagnĂłstico e tratamento
quimioterĂĄpico do linfoma canino.
Lymphoma is a highly incident disease in the canine population, being one the most frequent hematopoietic tumour in this species. Being highly responsive to chemotherapy this is the current treatment of choice, and when correctly used and monitored, a significant increase in length and quality of life is observed. With the continuous study and understanding of the behaviour of this kind of tumour, new therapies have arised, such as Immunotherapy, radiotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. These new therapheutic strategies are used in conjunction with chemotherapy and aim to improve the therapeutic response and increasing survival time of patients, with a decrease in the adverse effects. Therefore, it is the aim of this paper to review all the new therapeutic strategies employed in Veterinary Medicine, along with a brief description of the classification, clinical presentation, diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment of canine lymphoma.
